IS96 reporting conditions and limitations...

From: Wayne Pearsall

I am enquiring as to the number of immigrants currently under reporting conditions on an IS96 document.

Please identify the following statistical information - which is kept on computer records for each individual...

Please identify how many people are currently under such restrictions.

what precentage of people have to report and how often: IE: 10% weekly, 10% bi-monthly, 13% monthly, 20% bi-monthly ETC

What precentage of people are allowed to engage in work / business activities.

Also, what financial help is available to persons on such restrictions as not to engage in work (and therefore support themselves) - how are such people supposed to feed / cloth / home themselves (and their dependants).

also, How is travel funded by the people on an IS96 reporting obligation? - how many "immigrants" claim funds to aid them in reporting.

Please explain what the criteria for claiming such funds is. (such as with Job Seekers allowance, you must be looking for work, not work more than 16 hours, etc etc etc - this is publically available knowledge).

First of all, I am rather disapointed that the response to my FOI was infact late.

secondly, I do not feel that the response provided was a very fair response to those on an IS96 reporting condition.

particularly this quote: ----------- Some people given Temporary Admission will be neither an asylum seeker or failed asylum seeker. Those who have been granted Temporary Admission have no immigration status, are liable to removal and can generally avoid a breach of their rights by returning home. It is the claimants’ responsibility to return home and not the Secretary of State’s responsibility to support those who choose to remain in the UK illegally. -----------

Does this mean that an IS96 reporting condition is only applicable to a person who is in the UK Illegally?

If this is the case, then my wife who is on an IS96 reporting condition therefore does not have to comply with the restrictions placed upon her.

Case C34/09 of the ECJ ruled that a parent of an EU citizen is legally entitled to live and work in the memberstate of which the EU citizen is a citizen of.

IE: the non eea national parent of a british child which is dependant upon them is allowed to live and work in britain.

As you have made it clear that only illegal enterants ETC are required to report it seems rather clear to myself that therefore my wife does not need to comply with the reporting restrictions placed upon her!

I also refer specifically to this section also: --- It is the claimants’ responsibility to return home ---

The problem with this, is it seems rather discriminative to a person to tell them to basically go home. Please explain why the author of the reply to this FOI is in such a public presence?

Please accept this message as a request for both an internal review of the answer - requesting a better response...

as well as a request for this to be treated as a complaint on the grounds that an assumption has been made to provide the answer - a rather discriminative assumption.

Dear FOI Requests,

I would also like to make it clear - as per your own policy's, in addition to reviewing the response, you also only have 20 working days to investigate my complaint in regards to the clear discriminative remarks made within this FOI reply.

As per your own guidance, it appears clear that this discriminative response is a clear case of serious misconduct.
